Hello Eds,
In case we don't get the main target LB, have we ever had any interest in Napoli right/ left back Elsaid Hysaj? It seems he is going places with A. Madrid, Bayern M, and now Arsenal interested in him. 22 yrs old and a full international. Out of contract from Napoli in Jan 2017. Comfortable either flank. We surely can do worse.
Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - we certainly haven't up to now.}

Hysaj looks like an outstanding player, though he plays primarily as a right back. I would love him at Liverpool but unfortunately no interest in him from us. I won't be surprised if he goes on to the sort of level Lichsteiner and Zabaleta reached, and his style of play is similar to theirs.

Well. it seems this one has gone as well. Napoli tied him up for few more seasons and slapped a massive 50 million euros buyout clause in his new massively improved contract today, scaring away Bayern M and Barcelona. And Chelsea too.
On to the next one now eds. Likely to be Hector it seems.
